Okay, I guess I didn't actually get it yet but it is on order! She's a Niner R.I.P. 9! Should be here in five weeks and I can't wait!!! If anyone's in eastern VA and wants to ride let me know! I'll be sure to post some pics once I get it! I have yet to spend too much time on a 29er but I've heard awesome things and I can't wait to get her on the trail to see how I do!

 

29ers are sweet. The bigger diameter wheels really smooth out the roots and rough stuff, and getting over logs is much easier. I am trying to sell my full suspension so I can get a single speed 29er. I suggest getting a suspension fork. I had a rigid Redline Monocog and it really beat me up. Have fun!

 

I love the Niner's. I wish I could afford one.

After riding a 26" for about 10 years it was hard for me to imagine going to 29". Once I did, I couldn't believe the difference. Right now I have a Gary Fisher, dual suspension 26" and a Kona, fully rigid 29" and I ride the Kona much, much more eventhough it rattles my teeth out.
